original text
Scholars who praise heaven and earth, those who respect saints are righteous, and those who become virtuous and righteous are wise and seek the wise. Although it is the most holy, it is not born with wisdom; Although he was born without talent, he said, "Zhuan Xu studied under the Yellow Emperor, Lao Peng, Zhu Rong, Yao, historical records, Yu, Mo Ru, Tang, Wen, Wu and ③." If you believe this statement, you can't stop learning from the teacher. The people of the Eleventh King are all saints, but they still have to learn. They are rich in wisdom, outstanding in virtue, and worse than ordinary people. Therefore, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools; If a scholar wants to declare his meaning, he must read his book first Yi says: "A gentleman acts according to his words to cultivate his virtue." It is based on human learning, and there are also things that cure diseases. Therefore, the yellow is the end of Chu. Although there is jade, it is the capital of the river. Don't cut the pet-name ruby and leave the gravel. At the beginning, Khufu's utensils and ceremonial clothes were silk ears of Shan Ye's wooden cocoon, and Shu Qiao added rope ink to make a golden axe, and the female workers added five colors to make a loom, all of which became ancestral temple utensils and shackles? Shame on ghosts and gods, but royal ministers. What's more, the quality of a gentleman's chastity, his ability to observe sensitivity, and his good friends? Teaching as a teacher and writing as "reason" and "joy"? , guided by "poetry" and "book"? , praise it as Zhouyi? , Ming to the Spring and Autumn Annals? What's wrong with it? translate
People between heaven and earth are precious, saints worship righteousness, benevolence and righteousness make wisdom, and wisdom pursues knowledge. Although there are extremely clever sages in the world, they are not born with wisdom; Although there are also very capable people, they are not born with talent. Therefore, the ancient book says: "The Yellow Emperor took the wind as his teacher, Zhuan Xu took Lao Peng as his teacher, Zhu Rong as his teacher, Yao as his teacher, Shun as his teacher, Yu as his teacher, Shang Tang as his teacher, Yi Yin as his teacher, Shu Xiu as his teacher and Confucius as his teacher." If these records are reliable, then anyone can't help learning from the teacher. The above eleven gentlemen are excellent sages. Without seeking advice, let alone ordinary people, how can they be knowledgeable and virtuous?
Therefore, if artisans want to do their job well, they must sharpen their knives first; Scholars should read his books before preaching his morality. The Book of Changes says: "A gentleman should cultivate his virtue by remembering the words and deeds of his predecessors." Therefore, people need to learn, just like things need to be repaired. That is, the jade emperor of Xia Dynasty and the jade jade of Chu State, although they have the qualification of Baoyu and the contribution of Bianhe, are no different from small stones if they are not polished and honed. At first, the sacrificial ritual vessels were only silk made of wood and silkworm cocoons, while the skilled Qi painted ink lines on the wood and processed it with an axe. The female workers wove colorful silk on a loom, which became sacrificial ritual vessels and colorful clothes for ancestral temples, which could be used to sacrifice ghosts and gods and wear to the emperor. Wild wood and silk are still so, what's more, a gentleman has sincere and faithful qualifications, intelligent talents, the help of a good friend, the teaching of a wise teacher, the norms of etiquette and music, the guidance of the Book of Songs and Shangshu, the help of Zhouyi and the enlightenment of Chunqiu. How could he not succeed?
